moneydog
Are these the bronze ones, or are they gold. I hope bronze
jtryka
They will be both bronze and gold, looks like I will have to budget for 4 gold ones next year!
moneydog
Thats good the bronze ones I like the best maybe cause they are cheaper but I like the color and feel of it to.
TreasureGirl
So... how much will the bronze pieces cost? I might get me Jefferson's, Jackson's, and Van Buren's Liberty's.

I'm a little surprised, but I don't think these look completely terrible here.

Take a look here: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/store..._category=10193. It's cheaper to get all four as a set.

Just what I needed! But, what size are they? Silver AE size?
moneydog
They are the same size as the President ones and they are about the size of a sac.
jtryka
The bronze ones are $3.50 each I think, and they are slightly larger than a sac dollar, probably about the size of a half dollar if I recall correctly.
moneydog
I have the Presidential proof set I can't remember what I gave for it but they are not the size of a half dollar more the size of a sac. maybe the First Ladies are bigger I don't know why they would be. You can get a 1st ladie proof set for $12.95US from the US mint and as you said $3.50 apiece.
jtryka
The presidential dollars are identical to the sac dollar, but the first spouse are bigger. The gold coins are 1/2 ounce, making them closer in size to the half dollar, but the medals are 1 5/16" which is 33.33mm, or slightly larger than a half dollar which is 30.6mm. You can even see the difference in the new sets that contain one dollar and one first spouse medal: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/store...tegory_rn=21239

I hadn't seen that so that will end that it is about the size of a half dollor.

Jackson's Liberty, great obverse and reverse...

I hate to see her leave but I love to watch her go.
jtryka
It's odd, the Jackson Liberty is nice, and based on the Capped Bust half dollar, but there is no clasp! WHERE IS THE CLASP!?!?!?
